Ianis Hagi admits Rangers owe their fans a big performance on the road after a series of away-day disasters.

Clement’s side slumped to their fourth league defeat of the season at St Mirren on Boxing Day – all outside of Ibrox. Gers were backed by a vast travelling support in Paisley on and will have another strong following behind them when they round off the year with a trip to play Motherwell at Fir Park.

With the team trailing Celtic by 12 points, Hagi admits the Gers players need to put on a much better display for the fans and try to restore a bit of honour and pride on the road. The forward said: “Yes, 100 per cent. That’s who we play for – the fans, for the history of this club, and for protecting the image of this club. Obviously we’re not happy with how it ended the other night against St Mirren and hopefully we can get back on track. For us it’s just one game at a time.

“We understand the position we’re in in the league, we under-stand the points difference, but there is still plenty of football to be played. Hopefully games like the one against St Mirren will make us understand what it takes to win at this time of year.

“We just need to be all-round more dynamic and understand that this time of the year is really important for this club. Hopefully we can get the three points against Motherwell and move on.”

Clement was raging with Gers’ first-half performance in Paisley and hauled off Connor Barron and Nedim Bajrami. The changes worked initially when Danilo cancelled out Oisin Smyth’s first-half penalty, only for Saints to then stun them at the end with Caolan Boyd-Munce’s winner. And Hagi knows they can’t afford to turn up for just 45 minutes against Well.

He added: “Everybody knows it was a game of two different halves. At this time of the year when you play away from home, it’s not enough just to play one half with the standards we have at Rangers. We all know that so it wasn’t good enough.

“We dominated the second half. We were more dynamic and we were showing more of our attributes. We were enjoying the game and were unlucky as well not to get more than one goal. But we don’t kill off the game.”

Hagi admits he’ll be glad to see the back of 2024 after being frozen out for most of the year. He said: “It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. But at the moment I’m really enjoying my football.

“I really feel like what’s ahead of me is really exciting and hopefully I can help the team every game and bring my qualities and my creativity on a daily basis for this club.”
